THIS IS AWESOME!
My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog.
Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches.

If you thought Charlie Sheen was overpaid, meet the world’s most expensive dog. The 11-month-old red Tibetan Mastiff named Big Splash, or Hong Dong in China, was purchased by a coal baron in northern China for $1.5 million.
News of the purchase is trending as Big Splash supplants another Tibetan Mastiff named Yangzte River Number Two, purchased for $500,000 in 2009. The ancient breed from central Asia has recently become a status symbol, like sports cars and rare jewelry, among the Chinese elite. The dog’s breeder says he can now pay his staff for raising what he calls “the perfect specimen.”

Grizzly is a Tibetan Mastiff that graduated from the Neuman K-9 Academy pet dog boot camp. This program covered obedience commands to sit, stay, down, heel, come when called, and general etiquette like waiting at doors until released and no jumping up. He also learned how to run on the treadmill, and jump in a vehicle on command.

A cut-down version of “The Tibetan Mastiff in Tibet”. The original tape lasts 56 minutes, but I have cut this down a lot. Showing TM’s in their native homeland, mostly tied out with heavy chains and doing what they do there - barking and guarding! They all look very unkempt with matted hair, and some look to be suffering from mange. Although they LOOK neglected, they are all large strong heavy dogs and dont look to be starving.

This is simply a precious dog and her boy (my son) frolicking in the Vermont snow with Graham Nash’s “I’ll Be There for You” song on top. Very heartwarming. Warm your heart. As Roger Clyne says, “Is it still winter in your heart?” I think we all gotta warm it up…
